Grade I listed. The village also had two chapels, showing as a
Primitive Methodist and a
Baptist on the 25" O.S. map of 1896. The P.M., stood or stands behind
houses on the south side of High Street at SU 6799 2208. Aerial views show that
it may have survived, or been replaced with a later building with the same
footprint, but it can't be seen on Streetview. An old photo of it can be seen
here.
It pre-dates a
map of 1869. The Baptist Chapel was on Temple Lane at SU 6809 2208. It
survives, converted to residential use (2011
Streetview). The text below the 1869 map says it was at that time called
Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel, and was later R.C. (which
Genuki
calls Chapel of The Assumption), converted in the 1990's. The map also
shows Providence Chapel (Calvinist) on Chapel Lane.
It had evidently been demolished by the time of the 1896 O.S. map. Its site lies
behind the hedge seen in a 2022

here on a Streetview from

1003 4227. Identified on the same map as "Wes. Meth. Chapel", it can barely be
seen on Streetview, and from
what can be seen I suspect that the chapel doesn't survive, although its
graveyard does.

A Primitive Methodist Chapel is indicated

entry dates it to 1853. It probably survives, and can be seen on a
Streetview of 2011. The M.P.M.
entry also says that it was preceded by an earlier chapel of 1829,
"near the western entrance to the village", and
had a successor of 1909,
"out of use by 1976", subsequently converted to residential use. The latter
stands at SP 1996 0511, and can be seen on a
2011 Streetview. I haven't

Grade I listed. The My Primitive

entry for the village lists three P.M. Chapels for the village. The first
was of 1840 on Magdalene Lane. Perhaps it's changed its name, but I can't find
any on-line references to this lane. Next was an un-located chapel of 1870,
demolished in 1969. It's likely to be the one shown on a map of 1908 marked as
Methodist Chapel (Primitive) on Chapel Lane,
at SU 5108 3189. Its site (the far end of the lawn) can be seen in a
Streetview from 2020. The
third chapel is dated 1909-1969. It's marked with a cross on the main east-west
road at SU 5123 3209, on a map of 1958, and it can be seen in a

Category B listed, wherein it's dated to 1818. Older O.S. maps also show two
Free Churches (later United Free) in the village, both demolished. The more
northerly, near the parish church, stood on Lethnot Road at NO 5994 6912.
Pre-dating a map of 1861, the building survived well into the last century, but
had probably gone out of use earlier. Its
site was seen by Streetview
in 2022. It likely went out of use in the early 20th century, replaced by the other
Free Church on Dalhousie Street, at NO 6000 6875. Bungalows now occupy the site
(2008 Streetview). Oddly, it
still has a
Category B listing,
which dates it to 1900. An old
postcard view of a United Free Church can be seen
here - this
is the Dalhousie Street church, as it has a tower, which is
indicated on O.S. maps. About a mile west of the village is a large graveyard.
In it stands the Lindsay Burial Aisle, where
members of the Lindsay family of the nearby Edzell Castle are laid to rest.
According to this source
(where there is a good photo), it was originally a chantry chapel of circa 1550.

location). The story of Eyam and the plague is of course well known - the
Wikipedia entry referred to earlier covers it if you are unfamiliar with it. A
modern window, installed in 1972 in
memory of Richard Creswick, commemorates the events of the plague, and a

plagues victims. Two other windows - 1,
